Description
Antique miniature little box of drawers or campaign chest (chest of drawers with a door over the front) or desk top safe etc. Probably made around 1890. Basically it's a Victorian organiser: a wooden box, covered in tooled black/dark blue leather (think it's leather..) with a brass handle on top, with locking door (sorry no key..) opening onto four small leather bound drawers labelled 'gold', 'silver', 'notes' and 'keys', with a little notebook each side, labelled 'cash/accounts' and 'visits/addresses'. Gold leaf edged pages, I believe. Green silk pockets on the inside of the door. Lovely engraving to the hinge.
Dimensions: 16.5cm x 9.5cm x 18cm high

declaration
Barnaby's of Battle has clarified that the Antique Miniature Desk Top Chest of Drawers 1890s (LA519114) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1890's
condition
Condition is fair: structurally it's pretty sound; there's a loose joint top left and one drawer divider is loose, Cosmetically it bears various marks of age: scuffs and scrapes and so on (see pics) but most obviously the leather on the outside left and back is loose and partly missing. It will glue back on and the bare wood can be waxed and it'll look fine. I've not done that myself as I'll just use wood glue: that might be fine but I'd rather leave it in case someone wants to do it more expertly..
